The PCL -- similar to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) -- connects the thigh bone (femur) to your shin bone (tibia). Although it is larger and stronger than the ACL, the PCL can be torn.PCL tears make up less than 20% of injuries to knee ligaments.n injury to the PCL can cause mild to severe damage. Doctors classify PCL injuries in these groups: 1  Grade I: The PCL has a partial tear. 2  Grade II: The ligament is partially torn and is looser than in Grade I. 3  Grade III: The ligament is completely torn and the knee becomes unstable.
